EAW UX3600 overview

1Description

The EAW UX3600 Digital Signal Processor is a 1RU 19" rackmountable DSP processor designed for PA speaker management in touring, installed, and live sound applications. The unit features three analog inputs and six analog outputs over balanced XLR connectors and provides custom designed algorithms for setting EQ filters, delays, gain levels, polarity and crossovers. The signal processing design provides extensive user control and takes into account factors such as room temperature when calculating delay times and humidity when equalizing for air loss to accommodate for the way that the speed of sound changes under different environmental conditions.

For Presets, the processor also implements EAW's Greybox settings including the EAW Focusing algorithms designed by David Gunness to correct for anomalies in the speaker drivers and box designs of many EAW loudspeakers. Integrated limiting ensures maximum loudness without clipping the system's outputs and 50 lockable user presets can be stored to the unit's non-volatile internal memory. The processor can be controlled using the front panel user interface or with a computer via USB using the EAW Pilot Software. Front panel LED metering provides visual feedback and push buttons allow for each channel to individually selected or muted.

EAW Gunness Focusing

Utilizes algorithms designed by Dave Gunness to correct for speaker cone, compression driver, and box design acoustic anomalies in many EAW speakers and in multiple-speaker arrays

Temperature Compensated Delay

Accounts for the change in the speed of sound at different temperatures when delay aligning multiple speakers

Bell Filter Design

Designed to flatten the frequency response when reciprocal cut and boost filters are overlaid
